Acid Rain by Lorn
Really love this track a lot due to the feelings it evokes. It’s one of those songs that makes you contemplate your own memories in life, wondering why everything happened. I am also a big fan of the production of the track, the structure of it is really cool.
Strangers by Danger Mouse (feat. A$AP Rocky and Run The Jewels)
Real big fan of this track due to it’s sample selection and of course, my favourite rappers from Run The Jewels (Killer Mike and El-P).
Baby Blue by Action Bronson (feat. Chance the Rapper)
This specific song from Action Bronson is one of the main reasons why I got into rapping. He plays as a big inspiration due to the way he expresses himself, which is very authentic. His play on words and referencing the pop culture he grew up with inspired me to find my own way in rapping with expression.
Open Eye Signal by Jon Hopkins
The sound design in this song is insane. I’ve always been a fan of cinematic sound scapes and really cool sound design, which Jon Hopkins is very well known for. Part of my sound is inspired by artists such as himself. This song always takes me to another dimension, contemplating the wonders of what we do not even know (seriously, I can close my eyes and be in a state of trance when this is playing, it brings up so many feelings I was never aware of before, and still does that).
In the Middle by The Streets (Nero Remix)
Been a fan of The Streets after discovering this remix from Nero. I love a lot of the 2010’s Dubstep sound, specifically how Nero did it. Takes me back to listening to music on UKF back in my teenage years.
